Justin Bieber made headlines on Tuesday (Feb 22) when it was revealed he had cut his hair, opting for a shorter version of his famous swooping hairstyle.

Bieber first made the announcement via his Twitter on Monday.

“Thinking about getting a haircut….hmmmmmm”

“Yeah so it’s true…i got a lil haircut…i like it…”

Appearing on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, Bieber gave DeGeneres a box of his hair to be auction for charity.

“Yes, it’s really my hair,” explains Bieber. “But there’s a perk. I wanted to do something good. I’m giving pieces of it to different people. We’re doing something special. We want you to donate it to whatever charity you want.”

DeGeneres will be auctioning the box of hair off to the top bidder via her website. The donation will go to her favorite charity, The Gentle Barn, which rescues abused and neglected animals and invites high-risk children to visit them to help them feel less alone.
